I've seen what you describe on screens, but never on encodes. If I had to guess, I'd say that it's your screen.

Here's how you can test it: play the DVD on your computer. Do you still see the issue? If not, it's definitely your screen. If you're still seeing the issue, take a screenshot and post it online for other people to view. If nobody else can see it, then your computer screen is showing the same issues. If everyone else can see it, then there's something with the video source.

When watching it on a widescreen (such as my computer monitor), I don't experience the issue. The issue also isn't as noticable on other TVs.

I've noticed something interesting, though. When watching "Re-Light: Visions of a God" and "Re-Light: L's Successors", when it shows screencaps from the show included in new footage taken for the videos, you can see the issue there as well. I'll post a screenshot to show you what I mean:

Those bright borders are from edge enhancement filtering, namely sharpening, done by the DVD authoring studio. (Unless something in your playback setup is doing edge enhancement.) You can see the same white outlines, also called halos, around dark edges within the picture, too. It's just most pronounced around the border.

So there's nothing "wrong" with my box sets, per se?

Also, I've noticed that a couple MKV files I've downloaded of Death Note have this haloing effect as well. The only Death Note release I have found that has this fixed is Arigatou's.
